I only have ever purchased Soul Silver. I know that if I buy another one I will devote my life to it. However, if I should purchase one for the 3DS, what should it be?
I intend to live forever, or die trying

You control Pikachu in-game, but it's a knockoff of another, Sonic-themed knockoff, so it's a platformer and Pikachu runs, jumps, and flips like Sonic. He can even spindash. :lol:

I didn't like X, so maybe ORAS?

Haha no way! It's not by Nintendo is it?

Well, I've only ever played the 3DS Pokemon games, so I don't think I have a great opinion on the matter. But, I personally prefer ORAS or XY.

I like ORAS more because it has more interesting additions. There's the DexNav or something which allows you to search for Pokemon in your area, and using it you can see silhouettes of Pokemon in the grass you can sneak up on to battle. I like this mechanic because it reduces the amount of random encounters you run into, and it gives you another reason to try and catch all the pokemon because on the touch screen it will show you your completion rate for each area. You can soar throught he air which is a neat change, and the StreetPass is way better. In XY it does essentially nothing, but in this game you can decorate a cave and send it through streetpass and see other peoples caves. The little features in ORAS made it better for me. The only thing you can't do from XY I think is customize your character.

The map feature is a lot better as well so I got lost a lot less in this one. Also there's so, so many legendary Pokemon.

So it looks like Pokken Tournament, the Pokemon fighting game based on Tekken, is coming to Wii U worldwide spring 2016. Personally I'm not sure about it as I've never played Tekken, but it's still one more game for Wii U in 2016. It is nice seeing all the Pokemon in shiny HD.

It doesn't even look or play like a Tekken game. It's more like those Naruto Shippuden (whatever) games.

I'm still looking forward to giving it a try. Hopefully by the time this is released my website will be big enough for Nintendo to send me a review code :lol:

It definitely looks simpler than Tekken, I've tried the Naruto games though. Haha that would be a good bonus for you!

Do you mean that literally or do you mean you hope for a lot of variety in gameplay? :lol: There definitely won't be 700 Pokemon, but I think there will be a good selection!
